So she went out and said to her mother, "What am I to ask?" "John the Baptizer's head," she answered.
And she, at the instigation of her mother, said, "Give me John the Baptist's head this moment on a dish."

He swore to her, "I will give you whatever you want, were it the half of my realm."
Then she hurried in at once and asked the king, saying, "I want you to give me this very moment John the Baptist's head on a dish."
